Getter Robot: The Big Battle - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Getter Robot: The Big Battle - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

The ending is not so good... just a couple of shots and a staff roll.

-THE END-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Strategy

Getter-2 and Raiga and any of their compatibles are capable of submerging.
Use this to escape and withdraw. Usually fighting them to the death is not
a good idea. Basically, attack, defend, run away, repairs, fixes, recharges,
and attack again with the most damaging weapon you got.

Example : Attack by using Getter-1 or Getter Dragon's Getter Beam. Usually
this weapon leaves you a tiny amount of energy left. Then, the enemy moves.
Block or dodge any attack by the enemy, then change to Getter-2 or Raiga,
submerge, and withdraw. Hayato's Double Move ability is very convenient
for withdrawing. Emerge in a safe place, do some healing (repairs), and
wait until your energy recharges. Then submerge, approach the enemy, 
emerge, change into Getter-1 or Dragon, do the Getter Beam again. Repeat.

Apparently some of my guesses are incorrect. Getter Beam aren't weak under
water. It depends on the pilot, and the armor of the opposing unit. So 
that strategy will work anywhere. But then again, Getter-2 or Raiga has
speed problem underwater, so breaking formation (a.k.a Open Getto), is
probably the fastest way out from trouble, since aircrafts flies much
faster than robots.

GBC Strategy (Getter Beam Combo).
Basically, this involves three Getter Robot units. And the best units for
the combo is Getter Dragon, Female Getter-1, and Shin Getter-1 (at the
moment). Also this strategy requires a mother ship to dock, which in this
case, is Kujira2005D1. 
The Texas Battle Ship is unsuitable for this combo, since it moves way
too slow. Usually this strategy is to attack, attack and attack, then 
pull them all inside the ship, and run away with the ship. Inside the
hangar, Energy will be recharged, and should be ready in a turn or two.

1. Target
2. Kujira2005D1/Getter Emperor
3. Getter Robots should be flying here after exiting the hangar.

How it works (well, I have explained it twice... but what the heck) :
1. First, put all the Getters into the ship.
2. Get your Kujira2005D1 in a possible trouble spot. (But still out of
   range from enemy attack.
3. Wait until the enemy come nearer and in range.
4. Let Getter Dragon out, shoot Getter Beam, and pull it back in.
5. Let Shin Getter-1 out, shoot Getter Beam, and pull it back in.
6. Let the Female Getter-1 out, shoot the <*ehm*> Getter Beam (sounds more
   like Sun Attack to me. Okay my ears are lying to me, it's Zan Ma Kou,
   according to Dagwon), and pull it back into the hangar.
7. If all the enemy nearby has been destroyed, wait. Or go to step 2.
8. If the enemy is still nearby, move away a bit, just out from enemy 
   range, and wait.
9. Repeat as necessary.
10.If you're using Getter Emperor, have Getter Gai (Getter Machine-3) to
   do the necesarry healing/repairs to the Getter Emperor.
And one more thing : don't get Kujira2005D1 destroyed! :P
And yet one more thing : Getter Emperor is much better for this strategy.
You can add two more getters in it... and it's very efficient.

If you have seen the original Getter Robot anime (man, that's a long time
ago) this is their main theme. It's also in the Super Robot Wars as their
main theme. Unfortunately, it's not on this game.

Last Words

Okay, so this isn't exactly the best FAQ, but I hope this FAQ will 
encourage someone with better understanding of Japanese to create a better 
FAQ, and a strategy in which I can use :) So have that Playstation ready, 
and be ready to make your own FAQs. Chieengi Getter One, Switch On! And 
by the way, don't e-mail me about my crappy Getta Robo ASCII art :P 
I'm just way too lazy to draw the Daikessen japanese words.

My e-mail has changed. It's not thewindwalker@rocketmail.com anymore,...
actually, I really really hate to change my e-mail, but, eversince Yahoo
and Rocketmail merged,... duh,... I don't like Yahoo Mail. I have several
problems accessing it,... so I have to change it. *shrugs*

Now, kittymail, despite the 10 megs space, is too feminine like for me,
and doramail (duh, I'm not a Doraemon fans) are more like it. So I refer
back to my older e-mail, which amazingly still exists. So here I am
back at windwalker@angelfire.com for now on.

Don't ask. He's got nothing to do with Getter Robot: The Big Battle!, but
I used his Marvel vs. SF FAQ as a sample for my format. :) Well, sort of.

Tecno Soft and Emotion
Can't say how much I thank them, since Getter Robot's been my favorite in
the anime and Super Robot Wars series. You did a good job making this
marvelous game. Wanna try making Gaiking solo?

Go Nagai
I suppose Getter Robot is created by him. Without him, there will be no
Getter Robot in Super Robot Wars, and there won't even be this game. :)
